1. Well I'm not sure about the program sorry. But I know a lot of people put flowers where the deceased parent would have sat at the wedding. I think its good idea to do if you havent thought about it already.
2. It might be more prudent to perhaps take a small part of the program, and put something to the effect of "We would like to remember (grooms name) late father (enter name here), on our special day. We wish her were able to see it." Something like that, would be small, and sweet.
3. Yes anywhere you would list the parents of the groom, invitations, programs, newspaper announcement it is appropriate to put his fathers name. just list it llike this If mother still living not remarried Mrs. Jane Doe and the late Mr. John Doe if mother remarried: Mr and Mrs. James Smith and the late Mr. John Doe
4. This is not uncommon at all. We are putting it in the programs and invites as the late Jane Doe.
5. check theknot.com they have a tonnnnn of etiquette advice and i'm quite sure they would have that!
6. i dont think it would be inappropriate. its your guys' wedding and you can choose what you want to do :)
